Let me tell you son
If I had legs like you then I'd love to run
You know and another thing kid
Let me sit you down here tell you what I did
Well I fought the war
Got a kid, got a wife, got rich, got poor
Made it in my own time
All you need is patience and a peace of mind
So ease your mind my boy
Ease your mind my boy
Ease your mind
And the things you want
Are the things you'll find
So long
Your ship may sink before it even hits the water
Your dreams may wind up at the bottom of the sea
Don't let the changing winds of time
Define the man you want to be
You want to beHe said drink with me
Toast the good and the bad
Feel the sting of your memories
Carry me to bed,
My foolish old age makes a wise old head
Let this be last
For the time has come and all things must pass
Let me hear you say
What a wise old man told you yesterday
So ease your mind, my boy
Ease your mind, my boy
Ease your mind
And the things you want
Are the things you'll find
So long
Your ship may sink before it even hits the water
Your dreams may wind up at the bottom of the sea
Don't let the changing winds of time
Define the man you want to be
You want to beIf you live for nothing then you'll die with nothing at all (x8)
